I have a new winter tarp coming on Monday so of course I had to prep some new guy lines, panel-pull lines, etc. When I was done I couldn't resist making some new lines for my diamond asym tarp. When I was done with that I was kind of impressed by the difference between the 2 sets. Most of these lines will be permanently attached to their respective tarps. No choice for the winter tarp as I'd need an entire stake sack just for them.
Diamond Asym Tarp
1 - Zpacks Tent Stake Sack
2 - 6' locked-eye & back-spliced yellow guy lines
2 - 4' locked-eye & back-spliced red spare lines
1 - 12' back-spliced red ridgeline with eye-spliced Dutch Hook
1 - 12' back-spliced yellow ridgeline with eye-spliced Dutch Wasp
2 - Eye-spliced Dutch Fleaz on titanium stakes
Winter Tarp
1 - Zpacks Tent Stake Sack
6 - 6' locked-eye & back-spliced blue guy lines
6 - 6' red panel-pull lines with 2 locked-eyes
2 - 5' locked-eye & back-spliced yellow spare lines
2 - 12' back-spliced yellow ridgelines with eye-spliced Dutch Wasps
4 - 4' Shock-cord door tie-outs with door hooks
10 - Eye-spliced/continuous looped Dutch Fleaz on titanium stakes
With the exception of the 2 ridgelines and the 6 Fleaz on loops for the winter tarp, I did all the splicing work myself. I do also bring some Groundhog stakes along if I'm going someplace with difficult ground or a new place with unknown ground.
Something to note. Of the 3 colors of Zing-It!, the blue seems to bleed the most but also seems to be the easiest to splice.
